I finished If We Were Villains!
the first two acts were kinda good,the characters were confusing,considering the larger cast(7characters) but as it kept going it became more of a 3 person cast with two chiming in from time to time and one of them could've not been there and it wouldn't have made much of a difference,which is a shame
Story wise I loved the idea,how it flowed and the unique way of incorporating theater and stage play in the book,which is kind of hard if you think about it. Though as the story progressed,especially towards the end,it became a bit boring and predictable,like the author was a bit in a rush and tried to check off boxes. As if the author had written out scenes but couldn't figure out how to put them together at the end
BUT it's still a good book. I enjoyed it! It's a good read for when you think you're about to hit a reading slump or when you want something quick and fun to read. Usually I go for more "deeper" books,or straight up classics,not because I'm pretentious,I just like to analyse and theorize the hell out of a book(which I can do with The Secret History,with works by Dostojewski,etc.) and to not think and scrutinize over every page was definetly different
So all in all,I recommend it :D
